as expected.

Wisniewski told Local 4 that the family confronted the caregiver after discovering the transactions, and the caregiver admitted taking the money and said she would repay it.

The family also alleged that additional transactions were made without Dame's permission, including purchases for the caregiver's personal use.

Livonia police Capt. Eric Marcotte said the department takes allegations involving vulnerable adults seriously and investigates them thoroughly.

 It's shameful to prey on the elderly when they are at their most vulnerable,  Marcotte said, according to Local 4.

Dame's current caregiver, Connie Kincer, owner of Compassionate Heart Home Healthcare, also condemned the alleged actions.

Kincer said she has worked in the home health care industry for 34 years and expressed sympathy for Dame and her family.

The case remains ongoing.

The allegations have not been proven in court, and Honjas is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
